CONVERSION “WHAT IS THIS AND IS IT LEGAL?”

by

Our Daily Wisdom Word today is conversion.  Conversion is controversial to say the least.  Some parents cannot accept the sexual preference their child is when they find out their child is “gay”.  Conversion is a form of therapy used as a tool to revert their child to their assigned birth sex and is still legal in some states.  As of the date of this post, 22 states still have no laws preventing “conversion or reparative therapy”.

How does conversion or reparative therapy work? 

Conversion therapy is usually used when a family is part of a religious organization that does not accept a teenager or child’s  sexual preference he or she identifies with.   To be attracted to same-sex individuals is a violation of the religious beliefs of the parents enforced by their church or religious organization for a teen to be homosexual.   I think it is important to note that the “American Psychiatric Association” opposes any psychiatric treatment used in an attempt to change an underaged individuals sexual orientation”.  Religious organizations who do not accept homosexuality uses questionable practices that treat homosexuality as a mental disorder.  Practitioners who work to change sexual orientation through therapy to be unethical.  Now there are federal laws in place making it illegal to use some of the methods to change a child’s sexual orientation.  In the past, the United States and Western Europe have allowed these practitioners to use “ice-pick lobotomies, chemical castrations, and hormonal therapies. In the past, there were no laws preventing these kind of practices which also includes electroshock therapy to the hands and genitals. A term coined as masturbatory reconditioning has also been used in many programs religious organizations such as fundamentalist Christian groups.  To date, none of these therapies are shown to be in any way, effective in changing a person’s sexuality. In 2018, the European parliament banned conversion therapy practices in a majority vote of 435 to 109 for banning this kind of therapy and urged European Union members to pass the same law preventing this kind of therapy.  There are many other countries who are without laws including the United Kingdom to outlaw conversion therapy. 

As mentioned above, 22 states in the United States of America still have NO laws stopping or outlawing conversion therapy.  You might find it interesting to know the past history of conversion therapy which started by Sigmund Freud who claimed he could change one’s sexuality to be “normal” through psychoanalysis.  The first edition of the Psychological manual created in 1952 by the diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychiatry, (DSM-1) considered homosexuality to be a mental disorder.   In 1987, the DSM-3 was published removing homosexuality as a “mental disorder”.

Research shows today according to the American Psychiatric Association that reparative therapy is ineffective in changing one’s sexuality.  Medical treatments are also shown to be ineffective in a study done in 2016.  There is more and more repulsion of the practices medically and psychologically from leading medical experts and psychological efforts to change one’s sexual identity.  This became more public when a Jewish organization based in New Jersey, (JONAH), used practices called “unconscionable”.  Despite this, Conversion therapy continues to practiced today which often includes methods to change an individuals seuality in ways mentioned above. 

In my opinion, parents, should not be parents if they are presented with the sexual orientation of their child, and they cannot accept their own child as he/she is.  I do not believe they should be parents if they cannot accept the characteristics of their child’s sexuality.  They are forgetting the child already struggles with societies opinion of themselves.  Being a parent means accepting our child as they are despite our personal beliefs, especially with current research clearly stating these kinds of therapies are ineffective.  We must not forget as parents we have the blessing of this individual being our child, and we need to as the very least, accept our children as they are and love them because of this difference, not in spite of their differences no matter what these differences are provided it does not physically or psychologically cause harm to others.

SAVING AND FUTURE

Hi,

My name is Abuh Monday Eneojo and I’d love to have a good life tomorrow. Hence the need to cut off some things and save the little I get for the future. Like me I know you’re doing the same thing just so you can live luxuriously.

I need not tell you the importance of saving money especially in this dispensation. So, if you find your child or friend spending too much teach him/her the art of saving.

Yes, that’s what we’ll talk about today, Saving and future, on Daily Wisdom Words Picture Writing Exercise.

DIVERSIONS

by

DIVERSIONS
by Samantha LeBoeuf

Our Daily Wisdom Word today is “diversions”.  Before going any further, I am going to give the Webster Dictionary meaning and daily wisdom words meaning.

The Webster meaning of Diversion-1.  An instance of turning aside something from its course.  2.  An activity that diverts the mind from tedious or serious concerns. (partial).

Daily Wisdom Word Meaning of Diversion: The habit we develop that can sometimes distract us from the course we need to stay on. 

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of deep thought, and hear a noise?  You realize all you are hearing is the wind outside.  You try to go back to that deep thought process and can’t seem to return.  You have just been subject to a diversion. 

Once your mind is distracted by a diversion, it is difficult to remember the very last thought you had prior to hearing the outside noise. 

Often times this happens to me, when I lose my train of thought.  Is it the distraction that causes my mind to lose my train of thought?  Most likely, but more likely to be a distraction because you were not in a deep enough thought state. 

This is why many of us meditate, so we can learn to relax naturally. 

Meditation is a form of disciplining our minds and ability to stay on one thought, following it through.  Had you been in deep enough thought the wind would not have been a diversion from your thoughts.  We must learn to be vigilant with our thoughts and stick to the thought process we are in, especially if it leading somewhere helping you solve a problem. 

Diversions can literally be a roadblock.  It can also be  a word we use to describe our mental state being easily distracted.  It is hard to stay focused on a similar thought process without getting distracted if we have an overactive mind. 

This is why in order to avoid diversions, you must become vigilant when you get distracted in returning to the same line of thought leading you to some of the best ideas and solutions your own mind can create. 

In order to be vigilant with our thought process, one tool we can use to be focused is journaling.  With meditation and journaling and much patience, the brilliant thoughts you were having will be part of training your mind to be strong.  It also helps with depression and sadness.

When we are aware of a particular thought process we can stop, or start it depending if we wish to be vigilant with those thoughts or steer ourselves into a whole new line of thinking if dwelling on something is past the point it should be.  Knowing yourself and your thoughts are two of the most powerful things you can have as tools to be a writer looking at a specific thought process and carrying those thoughts through on paper avoiding writer’s block all together over time.

What does diversion mean to you? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comment section below.

Thanks so much for reading today, Samantha 

DECEIT “WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE DECEIVED”

by

Our daily wisdom word is deceit today.  Deceit, especially when the deceit you become aware of comes from someone you love who has deceived you, it is hard to deal with.  Sadly when we are deceived, especially when it is a loved one, will bring so many emotions to the surface.  First we doubt who the person is, and then we doubt ourselves and our judgement.  It also affects the trust in a relationship.  It could come from anyone you love. 

Many of us have secrets that would have a rippling effect on others, so we keep these secrets to ourselves.  When the secret comes out and it often does, the person you did not share the secret with IS HURT.   If the secret is related to them, it is often viewed as deception to them.  If you are like me, trust is one of the most important things in a relationship.  Once I extend trust to another, it has been earned.  However, I give trust much too easily.  I feel that I am so close to this person I can trust them.  Then I find out a secret about me they have been withholding. Sometimes the secret is something I should never hear, because it is hurtful.  I would rather feel the hurt than feel deceived.  

Why Does it hurt?  When we feel we are deceived, it places the whole relationship on the line for us.  The question is, can we get past it or will it be something we will always carry with us in the relationship?  If you are unable to let go of the deception and trust again over time, it becomes best to distance yourself from the relationship partly due to the strong negativity and anger you may be feeling. 

We are not victims when we are deceived, unless we choose to be.  We can rise above the deception, and see that person who deceived us in a whole new light.  Perhaps part of our trust came from placing them on a pedestal when they are human just like us. 

I have one other comment on deception from a loved one.  Oftentimes, we don’t get over it and how we view this person is with a whole new perspective. It is hard not to do this because the deceit may be something kept from you, that you feel you should have been told.  We should remember the deception but be able to let go o our emotions and forgive. 

We can forgive the mistake, but trust must be built again more carefully, and we may be able to get past the deceit. If this is the case and it is a family member, try talking to them about your feelings.  Sometimes just hearing “I am so sorry” helps us to move past being deceived.  We are all human and we all make bad judgement calls from time to time.  Make sure what you expect from another person when you deem them as trustworthy is not realistic.  There is a certain power when we forgive and it may be to get past our feelings of hurt and pain we accept the mistake and move past it.  After all we are all human and do make mistakes.  Samantha LeBoeuf

ALLIES “WHEN DO WE KNOW WE CAN TRUST ONE?”

by

Allies are supposed to be one of the team. Often, however, allies are not all they were cracked up to be.  This article will share with you what to look for so you can fully trust yourself.  Before going any further we will first look at the Webster meaning of the word ally.

Webster definition of ally- 1.  to side with or support for something or someone.  2.  A person or organization that cooperates with or helps another in a particular activity.  3.  a state cooperating with another for a military or other purpose, typically by treaty. 

Daily Wisdom Word Definition of Allies. 1.  a party or individual that will stand beside us when we are involved in something requiring team work.  2.  a person you will trust with your job performance to help.  you will still get the same credit on the project sharing the work load instead of isolating which is not effective.  What I will do now will paint a clear picture of how you will know who is the right ally  you can work with. 

A.  Make sure who you pick has been on the job less than you or Junior executive.   

B.  Pick someone who does not gossip about others, seems dedicated to the work and can do it successfully.  You are setting yourself up for a potential opportunity for a candidate in an equal position as yourself.  They could try taking the credit and may intercede, complaining about the load of work that they are doing.

C.  Watch ones actions over their words.  90 percent of communication is done through nonverbal communication. 

D.  Make sure to share!  In other words, YOU, not the company let your assistant know if the project is a winner they will be getting a large bonus. 

It is hard in the world with so much competition to even get a job and expectations having risen for all candidates applying for a job.  I worked in sales for 20 years in selling new homes, in the high end price range.  Someone, (another salesperson who was looking to get ahead and will do whatever they have to to move up the ladder is NOT what you want.  Yet, the ally is doing so much work and should be rewarded and complimented to management by you as lead project manager. 

The bonus is established privately between you and your partner due to loyalty you need so an ally can still win. Without that ally going up against you or trying to take credit when credit is NOT due.  It can be a kind world, but with sales, especially in the position I had, there is much competition.  What this meant even when I got a sale, and was recognized for it is that someone else got two sales.   “you are only as good as your last sale so get to work!” 

We have talked about potential issues with allies and have covered ways to find the right ally when you have been assigned a project.  I can only share with you what I have experienced.  Perhaps other positions are not so competitive.  However, the suggestions given, lead to eventual friendships developed with allies.  We must always treat our ally well.  Thank you for reading.  Samantha

IMAGE “DOES IT MATTER WHAT OTHERS THINK?”

by

Our image is important to our ego but not so much in our heart.  When we focus on the physical part of our image, ego and physical image seem to go hand in hand.  To have self-confidence, it okay to care about our image and positive to take care of ourselves.  However, image is not everything.  In fact, it is rather sad to see how much image matters to some of us.  There are many other things we can focus on other than our image in the physical realm.  However, there is self-image which is made up of internal imaging and  ego-imaging.   Self-image is worth working on, but we need to be focusing on those things that really matter.  We should take care of ourselves and do our best to look better if we feel better because we do this.  Change, however tends to take place from the inside out.  If we change ourself within, we increase the lightness in our heart.  this is projected to the outside.  You can see in one’s smile if they glow or have this internal iight.  

Let us take a look at the definition of image in our Webster Dictionary and the daily wisdom words definition.  Webster definition of image-1. a representation of an external force or a person or a thing of art.  2.  a mental representation or representation of an overall image. (partial)

Daily Wisdom Word Definition of image-a human being represented in whole part such as the mental, physical and internal part of who we are.  

Our self-image influences our self-esteem and our self-worth.  However you can take image and focus on it further than necessary. By only working on the physical image (how you wish to see yourself), instead of both the internal image, and external image.  (what kind of person you want to become which is a balanced person).  If one is spending hours in the mirror using their time to perfect physical flaws, this is when we see someone who has an ego-image.  Having an ego image is a sign that the individual, so obsessed with their looks does not have time to be well balanced or internally focused on happiness, Focusing on who one is  from the inside out develops depth and introspection. 

To know ourself is a part of learning to love ourself.  Mentally healthy people, when it comes to physical image or internal image tend to be well balanced not only working on one’s image, but developing all parts of who we are.  Working on all sides of acceptance regardless of our flaws and assets creates a well balanced individual.  We are human beings and were never designed to be a creature of perfection.  We must accept all of who we are and do our best to work on things that we wish to change daily.  Because we all fall from time to time, we will make mistakes building our self-image, and living life.  If you wish to meet someone with wisdom, it comes from those individuals who make mistakes and learn from them, instead of repeating them over and over again.  How we deal with our image including our ups, downs, flaws, imperfections, mistakes, accomplishments all working towards developing who we are and with effort, a wonderful person and self-image.  thanks so much for reading today!  Samantha Leboeuf

FETISHES “WHAT THEY INDICATE ABOUT OUR PERSONALITY”

by

OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS “FETISHES.”  BEFORE GOING INTO WHAT THEY REFLECT IN US, I WILL PROVIDE OUR WEBSTER DEFINITION OF FETISHES AND THE DAILY WISDOM WORD MEANING FOR FETISHES. 

WEBSTER DEFINITION FOR FETISHES-1.  A FORM OF SEXUAL DESIRE IN WHICH GRATIFICATION DEPENDS TO AN ABNORMAL DEGREE OR SOME OBJECT OR ITEM OF CLOTHING, PART OF THE BODY, ETC.  2.  AN EXCESSIVE AND IRRATIONAL DEVOTION OR COMMITMENT TO A PARTICULAR THING. 3.  AN INANIMATE OBJECT WORSHIPPED FOR ITS SUPPOSED MAGICAL POWERS OR BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED TO BE INHABITED BY A SPIRIT. 

 DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION, FETISHES-THOSE THINGS NEEDED FOR CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS TO WORSHIP OR ENJOY THAT ARE EXTERNAL OBJECTS OR AN INVISIBLE FORCE LIKE MAGIC OR A SPIRIT TO BE CONTENT. 

WHAT DO FETISHES TELL US ABOUT OURSELVES?  MANY TIMES, DEPENDING ON THE FETISH, IT CAN BE VERY COMMON FOR US TO LIKE A PARTICULAR  SEXUALLY OR EVEN BE PARTIAL TO A PARTICULAR WAY SOMETHING IS DON PARTICULAR THINGS ARE DONE BECAUSE TO DO IT ANOTHER WAY WOULD BOTHER US. FETISHES ARE NOT ALWAYS SEXUAL IN NATURE, BUT A PART OF WHAT  THE PERSONALITY DESIRES.  FETISHES CAN ALSO BE SUBCONSCIOUS AND WE AREN’T AWARE OF THEM.  PERHAPS WE WITNESSED AS A CHILD FROM OUR ROLE MODELS SOMETHING THAT WAS OUT OF THE NORM. 

IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE TO CARRY THIS WITH US AND TAKE UP FETISHES RELATED OR THE SAME AS WHAT WE WITNESSED AT AN INFLUENTIAL AGE.  REGARDLESS, DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL AND DEGREE OF FETISH, IT CAN BE HARMLESS.   IF WE LOOK AT THE THIRD PART OF THE WEBSTER DEFINITION FOR FETISH, WHICH IS AN ABNORMAL ATTACHMENT TO OBJECTS ASSIGNING THEM SPIRITUAL VALUE OR SEEING OBJECTS INVALUABLE SUCH AS A FAVORITE SHIRT, OR PLACING TO MUCH IMPORTANCE ON THESE OBJECTS BY WORSHIPPING THEM, IS WHEN FETISHES BECOME STRANGE. 

I HAVE SEEN THOSE AND HEARD THEIR REASONING BEHIND BELIEVING IN WHITE MAGIC, BLACK MAGIC, OR AN OBJECT THEY SEE AS SPIRITUAL, HOLD DEEP SIGNIFICANCE, AND FEEL THEIR THINKING AND FAITH IS REALITY IT BORDERS ON OBSESSION.   I HAVE ALSO SEEN FETISHES THAT ARE PARTIAL TO ONE INDIVIDUAL IF THEY ARE LEADERS AT HEART, BECOME LEADERS OF CULTS.  I ALWAYS FEEL  WHAT THOSE WORSHIPPED OBJECTS ARE, HAVE ONLY HOLD ANY POWER IF OUR OWN WORSHIPPING AND ENERGY GIVES IT THAT POWER. IF A FETISH HOLDS GREAT POWER AND SIGNIFICANCE AND HAS DEEP PERSONAL MEANING TO THEM, THEY DO DEVOTE MUCH OF THEIR HAPPINESS AND CONTENTMENT WITH THIS OBJECT OR BELIEF SYSTEM. 

MY THEORY ALWAYS HAS BEEN FETISHES REFLECT A NEED OR WANT IN OURSELVES.  THIS MAKES A FETISHES MORE INDICATIVE ABOUT US ESPECIALLY WHEN A FETISH IS CARRIED TO AN EXTREME.  IT CAN BE THAT A FETISH GOES AS FAR AS TO DOMINATE OUR LIFE.  WHEN A FETISH BECOMES MORE IMPORTANT THAN IT SHOULD BE, IT IS NO LONGER A FETIS BUT FOCAL POINT OF OUR LIFE, OR OBSESSION.  WE OURSELVES GET CARRIED AWAY TO AN EXTREME WITH THE FETISH.   WE SEE THIS WHEN OUR POWER AND FAITH GET INVOLVED. 

THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING ABOUT FETISHES TODAY!  PLEASE LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS ON FETISHES YOU HAVE BENEATH THIS POST AND BE THE ONE TO START A DISCUSSION BY “JOINING THE DISCUSSION” IN THE AREA BELOW. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH,

SAMANTHA

 

 

HEAT AND WAVE

by

Currently, the heat wave is getting worse and many countries are experiencing it differently. I may be over-exaggerating but from the statistics I have gathered, nations need to come together and discuss at length issues concerning climate change.

Some days ago, a 7.2 earthquake hit Haiti and flooding is still on in Japan and some other countries. Seriously, nations need to sit and talk about climate change. It is quite hot in Nigeria and I am guessing it is hot in U.S.A too. Let us talk about it today on Daily Wisdom Words Picture Writing Exercise. How is the heat wave affecting you?

CREATIVE AND PROCESS

by

Some two days ago I was involved in a not so fruitful creative process that paved way for bickering and mental nags. I do not know if you have felt that before but I have. You see, when we try to let go of the burden or beautiful flares that lurks inside, expressing it becomes a little bit of a hustle as we try to figure out ways to express it all.

My creative process may be different from yours and yours different from mine. Do you want to talk about it?

SURVIVORS

by

OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS  SURVIVOR.  A SURVIVOR IS A HERO,  THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH TRAUMA AND EXPERIENCES THAT OTHERS HAVEN’T.  LIFE IS FULL OF SURPRISES.  WHEN WE ARE BORN AND SOMEONE IS OUR MOTHER OR/AND FATHER, WE DON’T GET TO CHOOSE.  OFTEN SURVIVORS ARE INDIVIDUALS WITH WISDOM.  WE ALL HAVE “SURVIVAL” INSTINCTS”.  IF WE ARE A SURVIVOR, WE HAVE FALLEN.  I VISUALIZE AS A SURVIVOR WHO HAS INTERNAL BRUISES, WHEN LIVING A LIFE WITH CHARACTER, CHALLENGES, HEARTACHE, PAIN, ILLNESS, DYSFUNCTION, ABUSE, RELATIONSHIPS  AND EXPERIENCES. 

A SURVIVOR HAS BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THESE, AND SOMEHOW MANAGES TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE.  A SURVIVOR HAS SPECIFIC TOOLS THAT HAVE PREPARED THEM TO HANDLE THE LOSSES LIFE SHOWS US.  A SURVIVOR IS MORE THAN COMING OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HORRIBLE LOSS OR TRAGEDY.

THEY ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE HAD ENORMOUS CHALLENGES TO COPE WITH AND GET THROUGH THEIR EXPERIENCE THE WORST OF THE WORST IN LIFE.  WE ALL CAN BE SURVIVORS OF ONE EXPERIENCE.  A SURVIVOR, HOWEVER HAS BEEN THROUGH MANY EXPERIENCES,  IN THE MIDST OF EACH CHALLENGE, THEY DO FALL DOWN JUST AS WE ALL DO.  THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED IN MANY CASES HORRIBLE, HURTFUL AND CRUSHING BLOWS.  WE CAN GET TO THE OTHER SIDE.  WE WILL FALL IN LIFE.  WHAT CREATES A SURVIVOR IS HOW THEY MANAGE TO FALL, BUT GET BACK ON THE HORSE, SO TO SPEAK. 

THEY CAN SURVIVE ANYTHING AND HAVE A CERTAINTY IN THEMSELVES THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, THEY WILL COME OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE, STAND UP, AND BECOME MORE NOT BECAUSE OF A TRAGIC EXPERIENCE, BUT IN SPITE OF IT.  THEY USUALLY HAVE MANAGED BUT CHOOSE TO LOOK AT THESE EXPERIENCES TO CHANGE THEIR PERSPECTIVE. 

THERE IS SOMETHING IN THEIR EYES CALLED “DETERMINATION”.  THEY HANDLE REJECTION FLOURISHING FROM IT.  THEY SEE A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL THAT WE CAN’T SEE. SURVIVORS THE HOPE AND BELIEF IN SELF THAT THEY NOT ONLY GO THROUGH THIS HORRIBLE LIFE EXPERIENCE THEY GAINED EACH AND EVERY TIME AND GROW FROM IT IN CHARACTER AND WITH DIGNITY.  SURVIVORS ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO KNOW WHAT TO DO IN A CRISIS HAVING THE STRENGTH FOR THEMSELVES AND THOSE AROUND THEM.  IT DOESN’T MATTER IF THEY HAVE SUFFERED. TO THEM THEY HAVE WOUNDS BUT THEY HAVE HEALED FROM INTERNAL SCARS AND  FIND A WAY TO WIN. 

SURVIVORS ARE THOSE INDIVIDUALS WE SEE FOR EXAMPLE, IF THEY ARE IN A WHEELCHAIR AND ARE OPTIMISTIC AND POSITIVE, IN SPITE OF THEIR SHORTCOMINGS.  SURVIVORS ARE NOT INDIVIDUALS WHO ALLOW THEMSELVES TO GET IN THEIR OWN WAY AND ARE NOT BORN AS A SURVIVOR.  THEY ARE CREATED OVER EXPERIENCES AND AT ALL TIMES COUNT THEIR BLESSINGS AND DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR THEMSELVES WHEN THINGS DON’T GO THEIR WAY. 

INSTEAD, THEY TAKE THE INVISIBLE CUES IN LIFE AND LET IT LEAD THEM BUT DECIDE TO BECOME A BETTER BECAUSE OF THESE AND HOW THEY COPE. ARE YOU A SURVIVOR?  LEAVE COMMENTS AND LIKES BELOW THE POSTS IN THE “JOIN THE DISCUSSION AREA” OR SHARE A POEM ON SURVIVORS.  IT IS THROUGH SHEER WILL AND DETERMINATION, NEVER GIVING UP AFTER A FALL  THEY ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO A SOLUTION.  ARE YOU A SURVIVOR?   SHARE WITH US WHY IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW.  THANK YOU SO MUCH, SAMANTHA

TUMOR AND FREE

by
Tumor and free

Today, i celebrate with those who fought tumor and overcame it. I also give hope to those still in the fight with tumor. Like my friends would say IT WILL BE WELL. I still remember how devastated my uncle and hi family were when he had his own fair share of this ailment; i also remember how Reenie O’Dea, our podcast host, felt when this ailment affected her daughter but we thank the ALMIGHTY GOD for liberty and good health right now.

Neel Trivedi is also part of this success story. Let’s talk about tumor and being free from it today on Daily Wisdom Words Picture Prompt. I am Abuh Monday Eneojo. I will be your host.

GRANDIOSITY “WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT US”

by

GRANDIOSITY WILL BE OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY.  WHAT DOES THIS DAILY WISDOM WORD MEAN?  DOES IT APPLY TO YOU?  BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, LETS TAKE A LOOK AT THE MEANING OF THIS WORD IN OUR WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND THE DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF GRANDIOSITY. 

WEBSTER DEFINITION OF GRANDIOSITY-1.  IMPRESSIVE OR SIGNIFICANT IN APPEARANCE OR STYLE.  2.  ONE WHO’S EXCESSIVELY GRAND OR AMBITIOUS. 

DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF GRANDIOSITY-FEELING OMNI-POWERFUL OR ONE WHO HAS A LARGE EGO.  2. A WORD USED TO DESCRIBE ONE WHO OPERATES FROM THEIR EGO RATHER THAN INTERNAL BEING.  

GRANDIOSITY IS A QUALITY ASSOCIATED WITH MANY THINGS, AND ONE OF THEM IS NARCISSISM.  IT IS ALSO A SYMPTOM OF NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER.  GRANDIOSITY CAN ALSO STAND ALONE IN ITS MEANING AND WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT WHO WE ARE.  DO WE OPERATE AND INTERACT WITH OTHERS USING OUR EGO?  IF YOU ARE NOT GRANDIOSE, YOU MOST LIKELY HAVE SEEN IT IN ANOTHER PERSON THROUGH THEIR ACTIONS. 

THESE ARE THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO BRAG ABOUT THEMSELVES.  THEY EXPRESS THESE QUALITIES OUTWARD BUT THEY ORIGINATE FROM OUR EGO. THE LETTERS IN THE WORD “EGO” FOR ME STAND FOR “EMITTING GOD OURSELVES”.  WE ARE NOT GOD’S OR EXTRAORDINARY FROM SOMEONE ELSE.  BECAUSE SOMEONE WHO HAS THIS TRAIT TENDS TO VERBALIZE HIS OR HER AMAZING ASSETS, MAKES YOU WONDER IF THEY ARE INSECURE TO BE DOING THIS.  YOU ARE CORRECT TO ASSUME THIS. 

GRANDIOSITY, NOT ONLY BEING A SIGN OF THE PERSONALITY DISORDER OF NPD, IS ALSO A PERSONALITY TRAIT THAT MAY STAND ALONE.  GRANDIOSITY IS  DEMONSTRATED BEST IN ONE ALWAYS OVER THE TOP IN THEIR EXPECTATIONS AND  WHEN YOU SEE ONE WHO IS GRANDIOSE IN ACTION.  THEY ARE THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO BELIEVE THEMSELVES TO BE BETTER THAN YOURSELF.  HOWEVER, BEHIND THEIR EGO, IS A VERY INSECURE INDIVIDUAL. 

I WILL USE MONEY AS A EXAMPLE.  MOST PEOPLE WHO TRULY ARE RICH, DON’T FEEL A NEED TO TELL OTHERS THEY ARE WEALTHY OR SHOW OFF.  IN FACT, OFTEN THEY ARE HUMBLE AND DO THEIR BEST NOT TO SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS IN FEAR OF INTIMIDATING THEM.   ONE WHO IS GRANDIOSE IS ALSO THE KIND OF PERSON DELIBERATELY TAKING A MONEY CLIP WITH MUCH CASH IN THE CLIP MAKING SURE OTHERS SEE IT. 

GRANDIOSITY IS NOT ONLY A QUALITY IN THOSE WHO ARE INSECURE BUT CAN BE A POTENTIAL SIGN OF THE PERSONALITY OF A NARCISSIST.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING TODAY.  HAVE A COMMENT?  PLEASE DO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS NOT ONLY ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE READ, BUT HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT GRANDIOSITY.  EITHER  “JOIN THE DISCUSSION” BENEATH THIS POST, OR BE THE FIRST TO START ONE.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING ABOUT GRANDIOSITY TODAY.  SAMANTHA L/DAILY WISDOM WORDS FOUNDER

FINALITY

by

OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS “FINALITY”.  THERE ARE THINGS WE EXPERIENCE IN A LIFETIME THAT WE CAN’T CONTROL.  WE DON’T CONTROL OTHER PEOPLE, FOR EXAMPLE.  WE CAN SET AN EXAMPLE FOR THEM BUT ULTIMATELY, IT IS THEIR CHOICE TO DECIDE IF THEY FOLLOW THAT EXAMPLE.  WE CAN GIVE ADVICE, BUT ULTIMATELY THE DECISION MADE IS IN THAT PERSON’S HANDS.  WHAT WE DO HOLD CONTROL OVER IS OUR OWN CHOICES.  WE WILL HAVE NEGATIVITY TO DEAL WITH DURING LIFE, AS WELL AS PAIN. 

WE CAN CHOOSE TO FEEL THE PAIN, AND LOOK FOR THE GOOD FOUND WITH ANOTHER BUT WE CANNOT BE FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OUTCOMES OF OUR RELATIONSHIPS.  WHETHER IT IS OUR CHILDREN, OUR FRIENDSHIPS OR EVEN OUR FUTURE, WE CAN GUIDE WHAT WHAT WE WANT TO HAPPEN, AND STILL HAVE UNEXPECTED TURBULENCE FROM OUTSIDE EVENTS WE SIMPLY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. 

LIFE IS SHORT.  ONE OF THE EXPERIENCES WE MUST FACE IS FINALLY ACCEPTING FINALITY WHEN OTHERS ARE INVOLVED OR THEY DECIDE TO EXIT OUR LIFE.  SOMETIMES IT MUST BE US THAT ACCEPTS FINALITY.  IF A RELATIONSHIP CAUSES US PAIN AND IS UNHEALTHY, OR SOMEHOW IS HURTING US MORE THAN HELPING US IT MAY BE TIME TO ACCEPT THE FINALITY OF A SITUATION.  IT HURTS IN LIFE WHEN WE LOSE PEOPLE WE LOVE WHETHER IT BE BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO GO, OR GOD CALLS THEM HOME.   WE DEAL WITH A SERIES OF STAGES TO GO THROUGH ANY HEALING PROCESS.  FIRST, WE ARE IN DENIAL.  NEXT COMES ANGER.  AFTER THIS, WE FEEL IMMENSE SADNESS, AND FINALLY WE ACCEPT WHAT IS OR THE LOSS OF SOMEONE WE LOVE FROM OUR LIFE. 

WHAT WE MUST DO, IS  LET GO OF THE ANGER STAGE.  WE FEEL ANGER AND THIS HELPS GIVE US STRENGTH, OR SO WE THINK, BUT ULTIMATELY IT STOPS US FROM GETTING TO THE NEXT STAGE WE NEED TO DEAL WITH TO GET TO FINALITY OR ACCEPTANCE. ANGER OVER TIME, HURTS US MORE ANYTHING.  ANGER IS LIKE A VIRUS SPREADING IN THE BODY. ANGER CAN EAT AWAY OUR LOVE FOR OTHERS INDIRECTLY CAUSING US DAMAGE IN THE RELATIONSHIPS WE STILL HAVE IN OUR LIFE.  WE  OFTEN FEEL IT IS EASIER TO STAY IN THIS STAGE TO AVOID FEELING THE NEXT STAGE WHICH IS HURT, SADNESS AND PAIN.  THIS IS WHY IT IS HARD TO GET PAST ANGER AND MOVE ON LEARNING TO COPE WITH THE SADNESS OF LOSS OF ANY KIND. 

ONCE WE REALIZE AND FEEL THIS LOSS, IT ALLOWS US TO MOVE ON TO THE FINAL STAGE, ACCEPTANCE.  WHEN WE ACCEPT THE LOSS, WE THEN BEGIN TO HEAL.  YES, THE PAIN AND MISSING THEM WILL HURT STILL, BUT THE TIMES WE SHARED AND THE LESSONS LEARNED WE LEARN TO FOCUS ON.  WE REMAIN ULTIMATELY AT A PLACE OF ACCEPTANCE AND FINALITY. FINALITY CAN BE HARD WITH ANYTHING. 

SOMETIMES WE FEEL RELIEF WITH FINALITY, BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, WE FEEL THE LOSS.  I WISH THIS WERE MORE ABOUT SOLUTIONS BUT WE MUST EXPERIENCE ANGER TO GET TO SADNESS, AND THEN ACCEPTANCE AND LETTING GO.  FINALITY WITH ANYTHING WHICH BROUGHT US HAPPINESS, HOWEVER LITTLE IT MAY HAVE BEEN, IS HARD TO ACCEPT, BUT IT IS IN ACCEPTANCE WE WILL BEGIN TO HEAL.  DO YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP YOU KNOW HAS REACHED ITS EXPIRATION DATE?  DO YOU FIND YOURSELF FULL OF ANGER AND SOMETIMES EVEN RAGE?  LIFE ISN’T FAIR AND SOMETIMES WE DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY WHEN A RELATIONSHIP ENDS OR TO BE HEALTHY, WE MUST LET GO OF IT. HOW DO WE HEAL?  LOVE FOR THOSE WHO ARE STILL IN OUR LIFE BECOMES ABUNDANT LIKE A VACCINE OF SORTS JUST AS HATRED IS A VIRUS.  LOVE GROWS AND FILLS OUR HEART WITH JOY INSTEAD OF OUR HEAD IN ANGER AND HATE.  PART OF LIFE JUST LIKE A BEGINNING IS AN END.  FINALITY CAN BE WHAT IS NECESSARY TO DRAW HEALTHY BOUNDARIES FOR OURSELVES EMOTIONALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY.  THIS MAY MEAN LOSS, BUT IT ALSO MEANS FREEING UP SPACE WASTED IN TRYING TO CONTROL OTHERS AND THEIR ACTIONS.  DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS?  DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE BEST WAY TO COPE WITH A PARTICULAR SITUATION ENDING?  LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW OR A QUESTION AND YOU WILL GET A RESPONSE.  I RESPOND TO MY QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS, EVEN IF IT TAKES A FEW DAYS.  THANKS FOR READING…IF YOU HAVE HELPFUL ADVICE, LEAVE IT IN THE “JOIN THE DISCUSSION” AREA BELOW THIS POST.  THANK YOU, SAMANTHA
